Nature Fact

The Jay belongs to the Crow family. In Spring you may find gatherings of Jays known as ‘marriages’. These are probably courting birds trying to find a mate. On some occasions up to 30 Jays are present displaying and calling in great excitement. They are shy and restless birds and you may find it hard to get a good view. Most often you see them flying away when the large, white patch above the black tail is noticeable.
